Frequently Asked Quesitons
How much does it cost to build an extension?
Probably the most important question when planning a house extension. There are several factors that determine the cost of building a house extension.
Factors that determine the cost of the house extension:
-
Size of the extension (based on your requirements or the space you have available)
-
Shape of the extension (or shape of the space available)
-
Type of materials used (whether it is of a basic, standard or luxurious construction type)
-
The purpose of the extension (if you need to add a bathroom, this will add to the cost of your new house extension); and
-
The quality of workmanship (the old adage 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies here)
The website MyBuilder.com, of which we are a highly rated member, has a brilliant tool for estimating the cost of a new house extension project. These estimates cover the essential elements of the build, constructing the foundation, building the walls, insulating the new structure, fitting out with plasterboard, adding a subfloor, and a basic provision for plumbing and electrics. They don't include include VAT, which in the most part is charged at the standard 20% rate.
Do I need planning permission to build an extension?
Yes, current legislation says you need planning permission when you:
-
build something new
-
make a major change to your building, such as building an extension (https://www.gov.uk/planning-permission-england-wales/after-you-apply)
-
change the use of your building
If you're unsure about whether your house extension project requires planning permission, contact your local council's planning office.
Do I need building regulations approval when building an extension?
Not always. You must check if you need approval before you construct or change buildings in certain ways. And we can help establish whether this is a requirement of your project.
